Via ABC:
Oscar-nominated actress Felicity Huffman is among 13 parents who have agreed to plead guilty in the “Varsity Blues” college admissions scam that rocked elite schools this spring.
Huffman, 56, and the other defendants will pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Boston on charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The 13 parents were joined by one former athletic coach, Michael Center, who allegedly accepted $60,000 in cash and $40,000 for the University of Texas tennis program to help facilitate an admission.
Shortly after the announcement, Huffman released a statement saying she is “ashamed of the pain” she caused her family.

“I am pleading guilty to the charge brought against me by the United States Attorney’s Office,” Huffman said in her statement. “I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those action.”
